Buffoons and the People Who Control Them

Yesterday, I saw a video of some pompous ass calling a group
of people employed by the federal government parasites.I saw the same thing in videos from Wisconsin
when angry citizens stood and called teachers parasites.It breaks my heart now, as it did then.My husband spent forty odd years working for
the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service.Neither he nor his friends and colleagues,
Debby﻿, Paula﻿ or Michelle to name a few, were or are parasites.

Anyone of them could have gone out into the private sector
and earned a hell of lot more money than ever they did working for the Feds or
this ungrateful nation.However, they
all shared the idea that their work was valuable and that in this most Christian
of countries feeding those in need was a trust which they were proud to
accept.So while the hawks in the
Pentagon and in Congress went screech along starting wars to shove our moral
vision of human dignity down the world’s throat and chiseling politicians on
both sides of the aisle wrote promissory notes in their campaigns to honor and
protect the social contract with the most vulnerable, my husband and his
colleagues did the work that brought the vision to life and made good on the
promise.
I looked at the buffoon yesterday disrespecting the
government employees in front of him as if he had a right to and thought, what
do you do for a living?Can it be that
you are so stupid that you don’t realize that once the public sector workers
have been discredited and invalidated by that cabal of the superior rich, the
Heritage Foundation, Jim DeMint, their stooges in the Tea Party and whores in
Congress that they will need someone else to use as a foil in their war against
anyone who isn’t one of them.Will it be
construction workers, cab drivers, food service workers, nurses; how many
people before they get to you?If you
are one of those small business owners who think that you will get a seat at
the table when labor is finally put in its place – do the world a favor and
evolve.You too will be swallowed up by
big money, forced to go along to get along or be kicked to the curb just like
your employees.

This is not about Capitalism or the Free Market.This isn’t about freedom of any kind.There never was a tyrant who rose to power
threatening to enslave people.They all
promise freedom to the one group they have selected to play against the
others.

This is about destroying the Middle Class, breaking the back
of the Working Class.This is about a
society where the rich rule and the poor serve.So go ahead, bend your knee and kiss the master’s ring.Follow the God of the ruling class, believe
and say what you are told to, have more children than you can afford to feed
and don’t expect them to have a better world than the one you have
created.Know most of all that
eventually you will take your place in front of some other buffoon who will
call you a parasite.That is how it
works, man.Karma is a bitch.
